Le Vingtième Siècle[1] (Script error: No such module "IPA"., The Twentieth Century) was a Belgian newspaper that was published from 1898 to 1940. Its supplement Le Petit Vingtième ("The Little TwentiethTemplate:-") is known as the first publication to feature The Adventures of Tintin.[2]
The conservative Catholic newspaper was founded by Georges Helleputte, Joseph d'Ursel, and Athanase de Broqueville (brother of Belgian Prime Minister Charles de Broqueville). Its first issue was published on 6 June 1898. It sold poorly and was kept alive by Charles de Broqueville and other Belgian aristocrats.
In 1914, Fernand Neuray took over as editor-in-chief. He distanced the newspaper from the Catholic alignment and tried to position it as a national newspaper.
